I look forward to seeing what you end up with. Re: Feedback on the plans 17Apr 02, 2019 10:16 am Boro Thanks for all the ideas guys, I’ve got a bit of work to do Just my 2 cents worth, back on your original floorplan, I too would swap over your Family room and Home Theatre. I would then move the adjacent wall between the two rooms to increase the size of the Family room at rear of the house. I would then enclose the Theatre room by adding a wall between the kitchen and Theatre, so it is soundproof. In relation to your wardrobes, if you stick with the swing doors, make sure they are the taller 2340mm high doors, this allows you easier access to storage space on the top shelf. Good luck!

I had two problems with it, Dining table being in the way of walking through the house and second, the wall in the theatre blocks all the light in the kitchen/dining area, hence I turned the kitchen 90 degrees and swapped family with theatre. I am now leaning towards having family between kitchen and alfresco and dining where the family is (on my modified plan) and potentially extending the theatre towards the back a bit. I'm not planing to use it as a theatre room as such, more like a games room/tv room. Re: Feedback on the plans 19Apr 02, 2019 11:11 am To be quite frank, this house design has a lot of problems with it. The spaces are very small and not well thought out. It will be cramped and awkward. Are you able to step back and look for other house plans that suit your block? I think you need a better starting point to work from. How big is your block? Re: Feedback on the plans 20Apr 02, 2019 11:32 am Have a look at the attached rough sketch. By taking away storage space from the garage you can fit a better sized theatre at the front of the house. You can then use the previous family space as a study/ playroom which is much better suited to the dimensions of the space. You are then left with a generous sized family room that can be easily furnished.
